Have read the damn book some months ago. I didn't like it to be honest, but how the whale is described struck me because I've never seen any adaptation that matches the picture I had in mind. So be it! I did that during a bunch of breaks at work.</div>

It's based on a picture I found on Google 'cause I didn't wanted to spend too much time on the whale itself. I only draw and "dressed" it. Please note that I keep a good yearly rhythm with my drawings...</div>

This one has a funny story: while working on <i>WRC 6</i> and <i>Isle of Man TT: Ride on the Edge</i>, I was often stuck in waiting for something to load, to build or to start. Sometimes just because I needed it to start, sometimes because it crashed beforehand.<br />
So I started making dot points on a blank paper page to pass the time while waiting and, after some weeks, it looked like this.<br />

Not sure you get the idea, this is a helmet with an horizontal hole to let you see through. The helmet itself is engraved with a skull face.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not even played <i>The Phantom Pain</i> yet when I started to draw that.</div>

From my point of view, it's a spaceship view from the top, with a very large red glass disc which is the onboard quantic computer. Somehow inspired by <i><a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=179340415"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Hyper Light Drifter</span></a></i>, I guess.</div>

About the name: my working computer is a pile of junk, so I was about to write a name for the Photoshop file and the computer put three inexplicable 'R' before the extension, don't know why but I took this as a challenge to find a cool name with three 'R' and named it the <i>RedRadiantRadar</i>.</div>

Started as a simple dot drawing, and then colorized on PhotoShop (with some techniques from <a href="http://stunnyboy.blogspot.fr/">StunnyBoy</a>) to be offered to a very special person for me. As she asked me.<br />
<br />
It could seem dull in miniature, but I'm proud of the fact that from a distance, the picture seems drab, but if you zoom on it you can see all the details of the colored stars. Like in the real world!</div>

Been a long time since my last dot drawing! This one was inspired by <i><a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/113200/">The Binding of Isaac</a></i>, a game I've played for hundreds of hours. I've just imagined the child building his own Christ.<br />
<br />
I essentially made it during the first week of an english training. Boring training, as you can imagine. But glad to myself, this was useful after all.<br />
Thanks to my buddy <a href="http://blackjeanbart.blogspot.fr/">JeanBar'</a>, the trip to London was a punch in the face.</div>

Le rajout de la paire de jambe sur cette seconde version, c'était pour illustrer le plus distinctement possible le fait qu'il s'agit d'une équipe de roller. A mon sens, représenter ce qui nous réunis sous une bannière n'est pas une obligation car on est pas là pour vendre un produit, mais je peux comprendre la volonté d'avoir un signe illustrant ou évoquant le domaine dans lequel l'équipe évolue. Bien que les <a href="http://fr.merchandisingplaza.com/images/products/5483/img2.jpg">Chicago Bulls</a> ne fassent pas dans la tauromachie...</div>

<br />
<br />
Alors attention, c'est pas partit de rien quand même, je me suis très fortement inspiré de <a href="http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/9/2011/07/360_max.jpg">cette série d'artworks</a> sur <span style="font-style: italic;">inFamous 2, </span>pris dans cet <a href="http://kotaku.com/5822948/this-video-game-art-packs-twice-the-infamy/gallery/1">article de Kotaku</a>.
<br />
On est d'accord c'est de la copie quasi-carbone, mais je reste malgré tout content de moi parce que je crois avoir saisi quelques petites choses sur la façon de procéder. Je pense qu'il faudra réitérer l'expérience de la copie une ou deux fois, puis je tenterais du 100% neuf.

L'<a href="http://thewartales.blogspot.com/2011/07/ixian.html">autre fois</a>, dans ma mouvance silhouette, j'étais partit d'un fond blanc sur lequel j'avais fait la forme générale avant d'ajouter des détails. Du coup, j'ai enchainé directement en faisant l'inverse : partir d'un fond noir et essayer d'avoir un truc crédible en "creusant" directement avec du blanc. Une heure environ.
